THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: JANUARY 24, 2017
The Scene Unseen | January 24, 2017 | ATTENTION! ATTENTION! Late 60’s Psychedelic era… the birth of “free” music… sexual revolution… Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison…it was so beautiful because it was all about expression. They tuned their own guitars, they jammed spontaneously [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: DECEMBER 5, 2016
The Scene Unseen | December 5, 2016 | Time It just keeps on ticking away. You can’t grab it. You can’t stop it. But you can slow it down. You can speed it up. “Time flies when you’re having fun.” It’s no cliché; it’s the truth. The inverse is also true. One can only imagine the minutes going by like hours in a [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: SEPTEMBER 23, 2016
The Scene Unseen | September 23, 2016 | The Voice How quickly and easily we can destroy our own life’s work. Our dreams shattered by an egoistic comment, an off night, or simply trying too hard. What a bunch of bullshit! The opening statement is exactly the kind of justification our egos need to continue on this [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: JULY 27, 2016
The Scene Unseen | July 27, 2016 | Vampires They only come out at night, slithering in and out of clubs, drinking, sweating and watching you scream. They are the creatures of the night, the blood-sucking shape-changers and life-giving soul-shakers. They take your money, take your pride, and if they say sorry, [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: JUNE 27, 2016
The Scene Unseen | June 27, 2016 | The Reach Inspiration. Sometimes it looks like a big scary monster, but it just wants to be your friend. Where does it come from? How do we keep it going? Well I have some ideas; some you may not like, some you may love, some you may toss in the garbage like a used baby diaper. [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: APRIL 29, 2016
The Scene Unseen | April 29, 2016 | On The Road Again The East Coast is cold in April, a biting, nasty cold that gets into your proverbial bones. I’m on a solo tour across the East Coast while my drummer honeymoons in the South Pacific; there couldn’t possibly be a more polarized situational juxtaposition. He [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: MARCH 30, 2016
The Scene Unseen | March 30, 2016 | Leader Of The Pack As an artist and a human being, we just want to be noticed. What is the driving force behind this? We’ve already determined that it’s not all ego, and when it is it’s stomach-turningly obvious. Is it a longing for acceptance? Sure, but that still doesn’t [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: FEBRUARY 26, 2016
The Scene Unseen | February 26, 2016 Flying home after a beautiful week of surfing in Costa Rica makes me pensive. Turning my fucking phone off for a week may also have something to do with it. I try not to think about the damage to my credit cards. I’d been diving into music biographies when my skin is too red or [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: JANUARY 25, 2016
The Scene Unseen | January 25, 2016 The definition of insanity is “repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results,” according to Urban Dictionary. Actually no, it’s not, and you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet. It is a great definition for most of us crazy-ass [...]
THE SCENE UNSEEN BY JAMES STEFANUK: DECEMBER 29, 2015
The Scene Unseen | December 29, 2015 We arrive at the empty club early in the evening, drag five hundred-plus pounds of awkwardly shaped gear and twisted cables onto a sticky stage and start piecing the puzzle together. After sound check, if the bar is open, the first drink of the night helps take the edge off. If [...]
